Sand hills church pre-restoration. While the church was without a pastor for around twenty years the building fell into disrepair. The congregation kept meeting in the school house and thought that the church would eventually fall over. Last year they got a pastor again and work started on the restoration. These are new roofs already put on by the community. The oklahoma group gutted the floors and relaid them as well as the siding on the front, and remade the windows. We got one coat of paint on the whole thing an then our time was up. We held a service in the church as the sun was going down on the last night we spent in sand hills. The community came out in high fashion. It was great and then we left. Now they have to finish the job they started and continue to use the church and the school to provide support for the entire river community.
